you are into rapid fire events, that weight will help you with faster

You've obviously never walked dozens of miles a day carrying a rifle and a pistol
(for the feral attack-creatures). In those conditions, every gram counts.

I don't think that is what we are talking about. Harry is charitably
called a target shooter and those water bottles are not likely to do a
lot of sneak attacks. If he is lugging around a silencer, weight is
not that important to him


I shoot "real" paper, steel, and plastic targets, not just sodapop
bottles. I mostly use the suppressor on my bolt action CZ rifle...it
is very very quiet.

We were out stomping in the woods by the Shenandoah last year about a
dozen times. On those "stomps" I open carry my S&W 686 in .357 MAG in a
side holster. No silencer. Luckily the only dogs I saw last year were on
a leash. I have seen lots of raccoons and foxes and deer, and I am
pretty sure we saw bears twice, but I don't hunt critters. They were out
doing their business and so were we.

I don't carry a rifle on those trail walks. Why would I want to? As far
as I know, there are no Viet Cong or innocent Vietnamese women and
children out there.
